Saddle Mountain

]

In all the years we've been married, and all the trips home to Royal, Mark has never been on top of Saddle Mountain.

It is a lot more fun to take 4-wheelers up the mountain...but with 11 people wanting to go on the expedition with us, it was not really going to work.

So we loaded up in the cars, stopped on the way to get popsicles and ice cream sandwiches, and headed up the mountain.

There were grasshoppers everywhere!

And with ticks and rattlesnakes everywhere up there,

I was a little paranoid to let our kids go exploring.

I have become a lame mom!

But everyone enjoyed the treats,

we saw the pretty view,

and we loaded back up and headed home.

Next time I definitely want to figure out a way to take 4-wheelers up, that is the whole fun of going up to the Saddle.

But for this time, it was fun!
